Discover the Secrets of the Upside Down World

Introduction to Handtstand

with Christina

This workshop will smoothly introduce you to the world of inverting, safely and progressively. We will revisit the classics (headstand and/or forearm stand) and use them as tools to study good foundation and understanding of the inverted body. Using the above as common ground we will lastly build our way up to handstand, paying attention on efficient alignment and technique to render the upside down experience effortless.

We will make use of the wall as well as spotters throughout the entire workshop to ensure our safety and train our eye for verticallity. This class will provide you with a variety of tools, easy to apply in your own practice if you wish to master your inversions.

Open to everyone who is comfortable in attempting crow pose (bakasana) and headstand against the wall.

Maximum of 14 participants!

About Christina

Christina discovered handstands 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with this practice that keeps her challenged and always thirsty for more. Having practiced a variety of sports, the amount of detail and beauty she encountered in the upside down world has kept her body and mind occupied with learning and exploring ever since. Starting to invert as an adult, with no previous acrobatic experience, she had to overcome the fear as well as the feeling of incapability that we are often faced with when it comes to standing on our hands. She now feels grateful to have found ways to safely guide others through this same, empowering and super fun path!

Reconnecting With Your Heart Space

Community Kirtan

with Maria Mannisto

Explore the power your voice as it combines with others! Kirtan is a form of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion, in which we sing mantras together in a call-and-response setting. Kirtan has a profound ability to create stillness in the mind. It is essentially a form of meditation, in which the sounds anchor our concentration and awareness to help us be fully present. As we sing together and our voices become one voice, we transcend our selves and our logical minds, and are carried by the melodies and rhythms into a deeper heart space. This is a fantastic way to connect with your community, and engage in some healing sound therapy.
Prior singing experience is not necessary for this practice. Everyone is welcome!

“The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that’s deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us.”

Maria moves comfortably among a wide range of musical styles to international acclaim. As a professional singer, she has performed in major concert houses across the world. Chanting Sanskrit mantra is an integral part of her practice, and she is delighted to share the practice with others! After experiencing first-hand the subtle shifts that occur within herself during mantra work, as well as the deep silence that follows the chanting, she feels passionate about sharing this healing experience. She’s currently based in Seattle where she shares her passion for both chanting and yoga.

A pathway for exploration, acceptance and expression

Tantric Yoga for Women

with Haein Cho

This is an invitation for women of all ages, shapes and experience to come together. We are heart creatures. We are internal and naturally attuned to spirituality. Like an ancient tree rooted firmly in the ground, our sensuality is the sacred power forever ingrained in our heart, body and soul. Awareness is always the first step in realizing and fully accessing the feminine power that lies within. As women, we are incredibly and innately sensual. Sensuality awakens when we are tapped completely in to our own bodies and senses, our feminine power, our needs, desires, and our pleasure. This goes beyond the typical sexual sensuality, tapping into our ability to know what we want, desire and need in any given moment. We’re fluid, cyclical creatures and our constant flowing emotions and desires mean that within seconds everything can change for us. Working with our sensuality is a pathway for exploration, acceptance and expression.

Sensuality is the simple moment of feeling this body deeply, and the act of being present with your senses.
We will be exploring our sensuality through Tantra Yoga, an ancient practice that combines asana, mantra, mudra, bandha (energy lock) and chakra (energy center) work. By harnessing and embodying Shakti, the female deity that represents creativity and change, we can build strength, clarity, and bliss in everyday life.

Originally from South Korea, Haein grew up in Auroville, a spiritual community in South India. She’s a certified Watsu & massage therapist as well as a yoga & level 2 Acro yoga instructor.
Haein shares Yoga & AcroYoga as practices available for every body, age, and ability. She aims to support all beings through movement, connection, and play. With a background in Aquatic body work, she brings in a unique softness in her practice with fine balance between effortless movement and body control.

She has been teaching Yoga, Acroyoga & Meditation in form of retreat, workshop, class and in festivals and conventions in Mexico, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Greece, India, Korea, and Taiwan.

Dive into self nourishment, love and acceptance

Shamanic Yoga

with Haein Cho

Shamanic Yoga is a blend of Shamanic practices and Native American wisdom combined with physical Yoga Asanas and movement practice. Shamanism is a practice very similar to yoga, as it is involves reaching altered states of consciousness. In the case of Shamanism, the practitioner encounters and interacts with the spirit world for wisdom. Exploring this practice, we can gain a deeper understanding of the universe, its infinite energetic structure, our selves, and the part that we play in it. Shamanism and yoga are beautiful tools we can to use to connect to ourselves on a much deeper level.

In this workshop, we will take time to explore our body and heart connection through yoga, movement and cacao ceremony. This is an invitation to pause, listen, and explore the healing capacities that we all carry within, our very birthright.

Raw cacao is a powerful heart opener that paves the way to transformation through self-love… It is considered a medicine in South America since the time of the Maya. We will start with a purification ritual, letting go of the things we carry that no longer serve us. We will then serve the cacao and concentrate on our heart. During the ceremony, we will work with voice and conscious dance practice to connect to our chakras and give expression to the power that lies within our heart.

This workshop is open to all ages, body types, and fitness levels. Let us dive into a day of self nourishment, love and acceptance with Yoga, Dance, Conscious Movement, Kirtan, Cacao Ceremony and Meditation.

Insight Yoga

With Sarah Powers

The yin yoga master, and founder of Insight Yoga, Sarah Powers comes to Belgium for the first time!

Yyoga is proud to host a workshop that integrates physical and pranic practices in a unique environment of mindful awareness. Sarah’s style of teaching and lecturing offers a wholesome experience for the body, heart and mind.

About Sarah Powers

Sarah Powers began teaching in 1987. She is the founder and author of Insight Yoga, which interweaves the insights and practices of Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and Transpersonal Psychology into an integral practice to discover and enliven the body, heart and mind. Her yoga style blends both a Yin sequence of floor poses to enhance the meridian and organ systems, combined with an alignment-based slow flow or Yang practice, influenced by Viniyoga, Ashtanga, Iyengar teachings, and QI gong.

Sarah feels that enlivening the physical and pranic bodies, as well as learning to meet our psychological reactivity is paramount for preparing one to deepen and nourish insights into one’s essential nature – a natural state of awareness. She has competed level 3 of Internal Family Systems Therapy training and been a student of Transpersonal Psychology for 28 years. She also draws from her in-depth training in the Vipassana, Tantric and Dzogchen practices of Buddhism.

In this 8-hour workshop Sarah will encourage us to develop and/or deepen our commitment to a balanced daily practice that nourishes not only our body and breath, but our hearts and minds as well. Each class will give us the opportunity to highlight these four themes individually, so that we might braid them together inside us as a holistic mandala (or sanctuary of practice) that we can enter daily for renewed inspiration and insight.

The first hour of each class Sarah will focus on salient features of Buddhist Mindfulness meditation with both lecture and practice. Through clarifying and highlighting the basic tenets of a skillful practice, Sarah will help make meditation a joyous endeavor, reminding us of its essential place in our lives.

The meditation practice will be followed by various Yin/Yang asana sequences that encourage stability and mobility, grounded-ness and ease, enabling us to merge what Taoists call heaven and earth within our own bodies and minds, while cultivating the sensitive energy body simultaneously.

The last section will be given to heart based practices mingled with interpersonal dialogues. In Buddhism, these qualities of loving kindness and compassion are suggested as having boundless possibilities within each of us. To initiate the proliferation of these values in our personal experience, we can lean our hearts and minds in these directions through contemplation on these themes, as well as daring to share interpersonal awareness practices out loud. Please come with an interest in sharing some of these personal themes in dialogue with others.

Each class will be a complete experience, but these practices also build on each other. For this reason Sarah suggests that you sign up for both days in order to develop a self practice with a clear understanding of these diverse yet interrelated disciplines.

Spring Yoga & Wellness Retreat May 2018

Countryside Escape

In May 2017 IndraniLodge hosted its first Yoga and Wellness Retreat. The retreat was a great success and at the request of many of the participants we are running it again in the Spring!

There are endless amounts of yoga retreats to choose from – yoga vacation retreats, yoga retreats with a single teacher and little variation in teaching and style and yoga retreats that leave you feeling great but with few tools to ‘take home’ with you and integrate into your daily life. Our retreat aims to provide the best of all worlds by introducing you to a broader concept of Yoga and personal well-being management and provide you with a large toolbox to teach you how to integrate these tools into your own life. In a supportive atmosphere and beautiful location we will create a space where it will be easy to assimilate what you will be taught. Our retreat will combine intellectual and physical challenge, relaxation, body therapies, delicious food and ample free time to explore the surroundings and choose the activities that best suit your needs and interests.

Restorative Yoga, Pranayama and Pratyahara for Pain

Whether it’s physical or emotional, acute or chronic, pain can diminish the quality of day-to-day life. This workshop will provide a set of tools to begin working through layers of pain, as we learn to understand physical and emotional pain and how to cope with them. Yoga’s toolbox of healing practices includes restorative asanas, pranayama, and yogic philosophy. Restorative postures and gentle movement will help you connect with your body’s powerful ability to heal itself. Breathing exercises will focus the mind and direct your attention inward, allowing you to recognize what your body is trying to teach you through pain, stress, or tension. The ancient wisdom of yoga will help you make sense of the physical and mental challenges you may be going through.

This gentle workshop is accessible to all, and specifically tailored to meet the needs of those experiencing pain.

The Art of Assists, Self-Correction, and Observation, Part 1&2

Deepen your understanding of healthy alignment as you learn the art of adjusting others and yourself during asana practice. A great adjustment can be a truly wonderful experience for a student, allowing them to delve deeper into a pose and immerse themselves into their practice. Safe and effective adjustments require clear intention, subtlety, and the ability to see the big picture of a posture. In this workshop, you will learn:

• Observation skills as you learn to step back and see what is really happening in your students’ practice and your own.
• Basic principles of alignment in key yoga postures.
• How to modify or offer alternate preparatory poses if the final posture isn’t working.
• How and when to use props such as straps, blocks, and blankets to aid adjustment.
• Benefits of physical and verbal adjustments, and when to use them.
• The art of non-biased observation and adjustment, and how to adapt your intuition and knowledge to different types of bodies.
• A deepened understanding of your own body mechanics for effective demonstration and improved energetic sense of postures.
This workshop is not just for teachers interested in adjusting their students, but also for anyone interested in learning more about postural alignment in yoga class.

The Art of Intelligent Sequencing – Approaching Intermediate Poses

While basic yoga postures lay an essential foundation for a healthy and safe yoga practice, we shouldn’t feel stuck with basic postures forever. In this workshop, you will learn how to use foundational yoga postures as a starting point to explore more advanced poses. Learn how to effectively sequence yoga postures so that they progress safely toward a more advanced or “peak” pose. We will use tools such as props and pose variations to ensure that the advanced poses flow organically from their preparatory postures. Come prepared to explore and see where your asana practice can take you!

This workshop is recommended for those who have practiced yoga asana for at least 6 months.

Back To The Future

Back Therapy, Part 2

with Josick

Whether we practice yoga, sports or work in front of a computer, most of us will feel backache at one point or another. Whereas the Western medical approach often proposes drugs or even surgery as a treatment, yoga therapy focuses on connecting us again with our body and mind.
Discovering our body pattern, building awareness both on the mat and in daily life, and finding adjustments according to what is right for each of us –such is the very simple yet effective approach proposed by yoga therapy.

Yoga tradition offers us a variety of tools that can be used to develop our consciousness and preserve our health, especially breathing techniques and energetic locks (bandha), postural practice including stretching, alignment and strengthening, as well as relaxation and meditation. These tools can become great allies in helping us find more space, harmony and strength in our spine, restoring it to the channel of energy it is meant to be.

In this workshop you will get to know more about your back and learn how to use yoga techniques, so that you can create your own “toolbox” to be used at home, in your sport practice or at the office.

Everyone is welcome to this practice. Please let us know when you register whether you have a specific back condition or recurring discomfort.

And let your back be happy again!

Building Resilience

with Eeva Tella

Resilience is the ability of an object to spring back into shape. For us, it’s the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. The practice of yoga or mindfulness help us to bounce back from the small, or sometimes big, events that disturb our balance.

Through the practice of Yin postures, mindfulness exercises and discussion circles, this workshop will give you tools to enhance resilience in your daily work and life. Working on both physical and mental levels, you’ll learn the strategies you can set to feel stronger and cope more easily with the challenges you face everyday.

Eeva Tella is a direct student of Sarah Powers and teaches yin yoga and mindfulness. She also leads practice in office environment and continuously studies ways of finding freedom and balance in the hectic world that so often throws us out of our nest.

Workshop is open to everyone.

Find Your Voice

Vocalasana

with Maria Mannistö

Discover the healing power of your own voice in a workshop that combines yoga postures with sound.

Our bodies at a cellular level are in constant vibration. Not only do we express our own signature frequencies, but we also respond to external signals in subtle ways. Music and sound can resonate with our bodies at a very deep and intuitive level. In this workshop, we will explore the sound vibrations of our own voice using humming and simple Sanskrit mantras. As we vocalize and open ourselves up to authentic expression, we find potential for great physical and emotional release. Very few of us are blessed with the capability of free expression all the time. Insecurities, shyness, stress, fear of speaking out, language barriers, and guilt, can leave us stuck in the gap between what we would like to say, and what we actually do say or can’t say at all. This feeling of being stuck can lead to deep-seated tensions in the throat chakra. The act of humming or singing can have a profound effect on letting some of these tensions go, especially when combined with the stability, flexibility, and mindfulness that a yoga practice provides.

Finnish-American soprano Maria Männistö is an adventurous recitalist and yoga teacher. She followed multiple yoga trainings and workshops including with Kathleen Hunt (Hatha and Vinyasa), Sharon Gannon (Jivamukti), Jason Crandell (Vinyasa), Iyengar (Aadil Palkhivala and Martin Zilbauer) She’s currently based in Seattle where she shares her passion for both chanting and yoga.

This workshop is designed for all levels – yogis and singers alike – and particularly beneficial to anyone timid about projecting their voice. We’ll create a safe and playful setting in which to explore the relationship between body, breath and voice in an effort to bring greater harmony among these essential human facets. Most of all, we’ll create space to discover and get to know our true authentic voice.

Everyone is welcome to this practice.

Ancient Light For Modern Darkness

Inner Yoga

with David H. Wagner

By now we’ve learned how the physical disciplines of yoga can transform bodies, making them more flexible, strong and healthy. In this 2 hour workshop, master teacher David Harshada Wagner will share how the ancient inner teachings and practices of yoga have the same power to transform our minds, hearts, and lives.
Wagner is a classically trained yogi who knows how to share the ancient mysteries of meditation, mantra, and yoga philosophy in the most down-to-earth, grounded, practical way.
He will give a lively dharma talk with stories and mini meditations and also lead a deeper session of meditation for the group as well as answer any questions.
This session is a prelude to the Inner Yoga Intensive he’ll be leading Saturday and Sunday in Gent.

About David

David Harshada Wagner is an author, meditation teacher, and transformational guide who has dedicated his life to the exploration of human consciousness. He is the founder and director of Living Meditation, based in New York City and travels widely working with people from all walks of life from all over the world.

David is on the faculties of Kripalu and Omega institutes where he regularly offers retreats and workshops, and is one of the most viewed teachers on the very popular Yogaglo.com.

He began his teaching career early as a yoga and meditation teacher in Chicago almost 20 years ago and since become a truly unique and highly marketable “teacher of the people”. Wagner’s teaching style is disarmingly informal and friendly, but has the ability to take people into deep levels of self-exploration. His speaking and writing style is conversational and he’s not shy about throwing in the occasional four letter word. Some have referred to his specialty as “no bullshit spirituality”. In a industry of lofty gurus and soft-spoken new age workshop leaders, Wagner stands out with his no-nonsense, all-American style.

Wagner is classically trained in the wisdom traditions of India, and is a master of meditation, but his teachings come from his many years helping people transform their lives and his own personal process of transformation. When he’s not teaching or writing, Wagner enjoys motorcycling and being a dad. Currently he is authoring a book on their spiritual lives of men.

Contact and questions

Our 6-month immersion course is informative, evolving, and customized to each group of students’ needs, goals and characteristics. We emphasize self-inquiry, introspection, clear language, critical thinking and compassionate attitude.

It is the first time in Brussels a course will be offered with this diverse international teaching team and dedicated training facilities. Our inspiring team will continue to support your journey as you forge your spiritual path long after completion of your training.

We plan to maintain the quality of our mentorship by limiting the number of students. We welcome your application.

Our unique methodology and philosophy

Yin and Yang Yoga is a theoretical and non-dogmatic approach to a wholesome and balanced yoga practice and way of living. Honoring the dualistic nature of our core existence, we developed a unique methodology to teaching and practicing yoga.

We will journey into the polarities of yin and yang, moon and sun, female and male energies within ourselves to create a healthier, more balanced and integral yoga practice. Yin and yang energies produce a continuous dance and movement within our body and mind. Balancing these complementary opposites both on and off the mat helps to develop harmony, kindness, compassion and consciousness within us.

The program will focus on a thorough analysis of traditional hatha and mindful vinyasa flow yoga. The more bvsubtle layers of our existence and practice will be explored by integrating pranayama, meditative and introspective yin and restorative yoga practices.

Training Format

The training schedule is structured to accommodate students’ work, school & family.

Training will include:

– Eight intensive weekend modules
– Weekly mentoring and asana sessions
– Ongoing individual and group assignments
– An intensive 1-week module for a total of more than 300 hours.

Each weekend module will provide you with full immersion in the theory and practice of yoga and related sciences. The time between the intensives will allow you to return to your daily life and integrate the new knowledge, inspiration and experience.

Weekly assignments will deepen your studies and keep you inspired and engaged. Mentorship, coaching and feedback will be provided to develop and refine your skills.

Regular yoga practice will be an essential part of training. Students will receive free classes at Yyoga for the duration of the training and are required to take minimum three group classes per week.

Our program will conclude with an intensive one-week long immersion experience. This week will offer reflection on the development of your personal practice. You will have the opportunity to assess your own confidence in both your skills as a practitioner and teacher.
